by William Richard Cutter, A.M., New York, 1915
Page 461
John Franklin Kidder, son of William Kidder, was born at Winooski, Vermont, September 2, 1870. He attended the public school of his native town and a trade school at New York City, where he studied mechanical drawing and learned the trade of plumbing and steam-fitting, and he followed that business until 1890, in Winooski, then removing to Burlington. He has manufactured a fine line of punches and dies of his own invention, and his products have found a large and constantly increasing market throughout the entire country. He served efficiently for some time as a member of the board of aldermen of the city of Burlington, and resigned in 1906 to become superintendent of the city water works, which position he occupies at the present time. In politics, he is an independent, and in religion a free-thinker.
John Franklin Kidder married, August 28, 1894, Clara Augusta Rand, who was born in Bridgeport, Connecticut, daughter of Joseph and Ruth (Patterson) Rand. Children: Ruth Clara, born October 6, 1896; Minerva Clara, July 13, 1898; Cyrus Franklin, August 3, 1900, died December 16, 1907; Clara Franklin, February 13, 1908; Thelma Claudia, March 7, 1911.
